Subsonic Forum

Hi all...I recently graded the drive that I store my Subsonic library on and in doing so chose a different name for the new drive than the old. Rather than deleting the old folders in Settings/Media Folders and adding the correct/new folders, I simply changed the names of the mapped folders and hit Save. Now whenever I log into the web UI I get the dreaded java.lang.SecurityException error (Access denied to file...) because that file no longer exists in the path that's in the database. Everything functions as expected/as it should with the exception of this error.

Any idea how I can remove these old paths from the database?

Thanks!

Just check the delete box on the folders that are no longer valid and hit Save.

Or am I missing something here?

The entries referring to the old drive no longer exist. I can add them, and then delete them, but Subsonic is still looking for songs on that drive and throwing up errors when I first log in.

Rereading your OP, you can't use mapped drives on Windows. It won't work. You have to use network share names. e.g.: \\music

There's a guide in the tutorials section.

I'm not using Windows, I'm running Subsonic on Arch Linux for ARM.

Isn't there a tutorial for Linux?

There's some information here. I'm a Windows guy so I don't know how good the information is here. The Windows tutorial is also a pretty good overview of basic network concepts you need to know to make SS work properly. Post specific questions if you have them and the Linux guys will jump in.
